The Novogratzes Transform a Tiny Bedroom Into a Triplet Oasis

If there's one thing a family can never have enough of, it's space.
by

If there's one thing a family can never have enough of, it's space. While living in a small space can force families to cut down on the clutter and carefully edit their toys, kids will inevitably feel constrained by limited areas. Bob and Cortney Novogratz know all about small homes. The designing duo, and stars of HGTV's Home by Novogratz have lived in and around New York City with their seven kids.

In an upcoming episode of their show, the couple helps a friend-of-a-friend convert a small Hell's Kitchen, NYC, bedroom into a clean, functional room for 4-year-old triplets. Quite a bit more modern than the San Francisco 2010 Decorator Showcase, take a sneak peek at the room, and see what the designers used to make it functional and fun for the tykes.

A Room With Three Views: Tips For Triplet Nursery Design

Having triplets can be chaotic for a mother, but the trio's lair doesn't have to be!

Having triplets can be chaotic for a mother, but the trio's lair doesn't have to be! For the San Francisco 2010 Decorator Showcase, Marsh & Clark transformed an attic bedroom into a stunning and understated nursery for multiples. Stephanie Marsh Fillbrandt of the design firm offered up seven tips for "creating a stylish and safe cocoon for relaxing and bonding with baby." She said:

Safety
Safety is paramount when designing a nursery. To keep babies happy, healthy and toxin-free, consider all material compositions and finishes. For example, for our Decorator Showcase nursery for triplets, we created cribs from medite, a non-formaldehyde MDF and finished them with a soy-based, food-safe paint — safe for even the most active teethers. To prevent off-gassing, we used non-toxic paints and finishes throughout the room and selected organic or natural fibers for our bedding, carpets, and window treatments.

Sustainability
As with design in general, sustainability is important in a nursery — both in using sustainable materials as well as creating a design that will sustain a child through multiple stages of his or her life. For example we chose FSC-certified machiche on both of the crib bases as well as the credenza surround. We also used wool for the window seat covers, carpets, and the bumpers because it is a sustainable fabric.
